DISCUSSION All four of the properties declared a nuisance were bank repossessions. The nuisance was high grass growth, which was cleared with a brush hog at a cost of $200. Administrative fees cover the cost of mailing and personnel cost of the inspector and township secretary. All costs were assessed to the parcel through the Stark County Auditor.
